{{s|bulbapedia|Z-Move}}s are a mechanic introduced in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']]. They are an exceptionally powerful variant of the move they are based on. To use a Z-Move, a Pokémon must be holding the {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Crystal}} corresponding to the type of intended move, and their trainer must have a {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Ring}} or {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Power Ring}}. | {{s|bulbapedia|Z-Move}}s are a mechanic introduced in [[bulbapedia:Pokémon Sun and Moon|''Pokémon Sun'' and ''Moon'']].

Although any Pokémon is capable of using Z-Moves, a select group of Pokémon have signature Z-Moves. {{s|bulbapedia|Malicious Moonsault}} is a Dark-type Z-Move exclusive to Incineroar, which acts as a powered-up version of its {{s|bulbapedia|signature move}}, [[Darkest Lariat]]. Upon activation, Incineroar summons a wrestling ring underneath the target. It then charges toward the ring, leaps onto one of its top turnbuckles, uses its flame belt to engulf itself in flames, and then performs a [[wikipedia:Professional wrestling aerial techniques#450° splash|450° splash]] that generates a massive explosion to engulf the ring. Its base power is 180, although its damage output is doubled if the target has used {{s|bulbapedia|Minimize}}. Like other Z-Moves, however, it has only 1 {{s|bulbapedia|Power Point}} (PP). | Although any Pokémon is capable of using Z-Moves, a select group of Pokémon have signature Z-Moves. {{s|bulbapedia|Malicious Moonsault}} is a Dark-type Z-Move exclusive to Incineroar, which acts as a powered-up version of its {{s|bulbapedia|signature move}}, [[Darkest Lariat]].

The boxing ring where the cinematic occurs is likely a reference to the {{s|bulbapedia|Battle Royal Dome}} located in the game's {{s|bulbapedia|Akala Island}}. Players can participate against three other opponents in Battle Royals that are located in a boxing ring, similar to the setting of Max Malicious Moonsault; the last trainer to remain standing is the winner of the Battle Royal | |||
